I'm finally able to wake him from a deep sleep with just my voice. It takes a couple of times, but I'm thrilled and that's perfectly okay with me! He's tuning in more and more to where the sound or my voice is coming from. 🐾❤️🐾

Update-Day 20:
I am beyond grateful & SO very thrilled to post these two videos that I just took of my sweet Atigun!
He can hear me!
He was asleep & snoring when I took both of these. He is finally starting to consistently hear the higher pitch noises and turn his head toward the sound.

If I wait until he’s almost asleep and it’s quiet inside, he perks up to the sound of a squeaker and me whistling, but he doesn’t know where it’s coming from. He may just now be starting to hear those sounds again, so he may not be quite sure of them just yet.
I’m so grateful.

Two week update:
He’s getting there! There are still sounds/tones he isn’t hearing and it some of it seems random. He also hears sounds, but can’t determine where they are coming from. This morning I was able to get him to perk up his ears with a squeaker toy and my whistle.

Call me a good boy again because
I👏🏼CAN👏🏼HEAR👏🏼YOU👏🏼!!

It's still on/off, but definite improvement! I think a few random sounds are getting his attention, but mostly my voice. He perks up to my repeated whistling and a squeaker from about 3 ft away, but doesn't know where it's coming from.🐾🐾
